Obamacare = Electoral Kryptonite

“A CLOUDY DAY IN KLEPTOPOLIS …”

It’s so obvious at this point we’re not sure why they’re still do polls on it … but in case you missed the news flash, Obamacare is Kryptonite to candidates seeking federal office.

According to a new Fox News poll, Independent voters are likely to back opponents of U.S. President Barack Obama’s socialized medicine monstrosity by a whopping 54-29 percent spread. The same poll found general election voters backing anti-Obamacare candidates by a 53-39 percent spread.

Oh, and independents care about a candidate’s position on this issue a great deal – with 72 percent of them saying it will be an “important factor” in casting their ballots.

That’s the good news …

The bad news? “Republicans” are likely to benefit electorally from this pervasive disdain of socialized medicine – and as we’ve seen time and again the Grand Old Party is no better than Democrats when it comes to controlling spending or keeping taxes low.
